He had no wish, after the House had decided by a large majority in favour of the Bill, to give any troublesome opposition. On the con trary, he should be glad to see the experiment tried ; but he thought it necessary that the views of the Right Hon. Gentle. man should be explained to the House. Mr. C.

Grant's) intention to have made this explanation first on Wednesday, and afterwards on Thursday, but the House sitting so late, and he being desirous to have the Bill printed before the Easter re cess, he was compelled to move has resolutions late on Thurs.. day night.

Mr. SPRING It ICE rose, pursoant to notice, to oppose the motion that the Speaker should leave the chair; and objected to the votes for education in Ireland, upon the ground that they sto o d i n d i rect oppos i t i on to the recomm en d ation of the paid Cl ergy , commissione rs ' report . He particularly resisted the gr a n t to the Society f or di scountenancing vice, on the ground t h at i t WAYa p a y ment f o r perform i ng t h e duties of an already O v er . ; lie also objected to the vote for catechetical re. wards and to the addition of 0,0 001 . to the grant for th e Kildare-pl ace S c h ool. It h a d b een stated, th at t h e grant to this scho o l h ad educated more t h an 100,000 persons, while, by the r eturn now printed, it appored that it p rov id e d only for about 40,000. ile further thought the system ,of making entirely at th e ma i n the readingol t h e Scriptures i n t h e s chool co m p u l sory, struck purpose for which it had originally been established. After quoting from and arguing upon a great variety of p a p ers, which containe d t h e o pi n i ons o f the commis. sioneelruscokflisettlitumeaotifoilit,is purpose, the lion. Oentlem an conelodedand the dignitaries of the Irish church, i n the by moving as an amendment—That this I louse tvneors in the opinions expressed unanimously by the commissioners of edu. cation in their 14th report made in 18 ' 26, and si gned by the Bishops of Armagh, Ca t hel, and Killala, and the late Provost of Dublin College, now Bishop of Ferns, that no general ohm of education for Ireland, however wisely an unexceptionAbly contrived in other respects, can be useful in the moral and re ligious cultivation of the people, unless it is first a•all clearly avowed and understood to be its lending principle, not to disturb the peculiar tenets of any suet or description of Chris tians. Mr. tiOULBURN being particularly anxious to avoid all topics of irritation and excitement, purposed to waive the coo. ' sideration of all general principles which might be involved in this discussion, and confine his remarks to one object—that of proving, that in what Government had done it had merely followed up the suggestions of the Commissioners of Lducation. Whatever might have been alleged against the Kildare street Society of Dublin, it could not be denied that the systeM adopted by that Society had been purified from every thing that looked like the moat remote desire in encourage prose. lytism. The Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland had been most anxious that the experiment pointed out in the report of the Commissioners of Lducation should be fairly made ; but he did not wish, while such an experiment was in progress, that the whole system of education which had already been acted on in Ireland should be removed. lie would not, in the first place, rashly abolish the system which now prevailed, and then proceed to inquire after a better. The Lord-Lieute. nant's anxious wish was, to have a fatr - trial - of the Pro posed experiment, but unquestionably it was not consonant with his views to renounce, on the moment, all that had hitherto been done. And he (Mr. Goulburn) was called on paaticularly to observe, that this plan of the lird-Lieutenant had received the express sanction of the Commissioners them selves. They also wished, that the grants appropriated to the support of the schools that were now in existence should not be refused, until a better scholastic system was established. It was very difficult, in managing such an Inquiry, to find persons who were possessed of the requisite information. But such individuals had been found—a tact which was admitted by the Hon. Member for Limerick himself. If proper persona had not been selected to carry into effect the recommendation of the Commissioners, would not that Hon. Gent. have turned round on hint (Mr. Goulburn), and have complained that men acting under strong and improper prejudices had been selected for the task—that therefore it was not to be wondered at if the attempt to remodel the mode of education should"fail ? But, in selecting the Individuals who were to act under that report, those persons were appointed whose characters were calcu lated to secure the respect and regard of all parties. They were men of integrity and talent; and their labours gave the beat hopes that the general system of education would old middy be arranged in a manner more satisfactory to all classes of the community than could he effected by almost any other description of persons. They had shown that the principle adopted ) performance of their ditties was in practice well asintleory, the best that c o u ld h ave b een tiee as s y them In th e theory, pursued. Complaints had been made of the delay that had occurred ; but Gentlemen must see that, in introducing a new system of education, the books that were to be used could not be decided on and procured without some tiff& culty and considerable exertion. The Gentlemen who framed the report were considered the most proper to carry their own plan into effect. The Government said, "We must give sup port to the schools which exist, until better are formed by which they may be superseded ;" and such was time object of the Commisaioners. But what said the Hon. Gentlemen.— " Let us destroy the schools which now exist"—for Ids motion was tantamount to that abject—" and then try whether we cannot build up another system." Ile thought no one could entertain a doubt that the former course—the course which had been puraued—was the most wise and b ene ficial for Ire. land. When he last year brought this vote before the House, he only called for 22,000!., because he thought it was proper not to call far any addition to the grant of the preceding year, until the report of the commis s i o n ers was l a id b e f ore the House. That report was not made until after the period when the sum he had just mentioned was voted, and it then became necessary to supply the defect of that vote. %Vith respect to the Kildare street Association, it was not intended that the expenditure of the present year should exceed that of the year preceding. Ile proposed to vote a certain estimated sum for that establishment, independent of time sum that would be required to assist, where necessary, in the building of time new schools. That sum was estimated at about 4,0001., which might he l a id out i n b u ildi ng schools founded on the Kildare-street plan, or on the plan sug. tested by the commissioners, as might be deemed preferable.— %Vhatever the feelings of the House might be with respect to the Kildare-street Association, it ought not to be forgotten that it had, year after year, received the approbation of Parliament, though not without considerable resistance from some gentle. men strenuously opposed the proceedings of that body fie could not expect that those gentlemen would agree to the pre sent vote ; but if' it were rejected by the House generally, such a decision would either stigmatize those who had presided over the affhirs of that society, as having neglected their duties, or it would give rise to an opinion, and a most dangerous opinion it would be, that the society was considered as having produced evil instead of good. Now he would say, that since the Kil dare-street Society was formed, its operation had been extremely beneficial not only to Protestants, but to all classes of the coin. munity. Let (gentlemen look at the state of education in Ire. land before that time, and let them say, taking the whole sub ject into consideration, whether, since the institution of that association, great and substantial benefits had not been derived In every branch of society ? It wits not the mere number of children educated by that association that they were to look to, although 62,000 persons formed no inconsiderable number; they were to push their examination farther, and to recollect the great moral effects which had been produced all over the country. They ought to remember, that the books now read in the lower class of Irish schools were very different front those that were formerly used in throw places; and, al though what had been done might not meet the idea o f p er f ec - . tion in those matters which time Hon. Member for Limerick had imbibed, or perhaps the idea which he (Mr. ooulb u rn) entertained, still it must be allowed that a great and substan did good had been attained. That society, he would also ob serve, was daily gaining ground, notwithstanding all the oppo sition which it had met with both here and in Ireland ; and when the Hon. Member spoke of the Roman Catholic Prelates being adverse to it, he must say that he had such a permisbion from one of those prelates, allowing children to he educated by the Kildare-street Society, and directing them not to infringe on its rules. For the reasons he had stated, he must persist in the vote to which the Hon. Member for Limerick 'objected I and he conceived the House would not refuse it, unless they were prepared to do away with the whole existing system of educe, tion, and to trust to chance for the discovery of something better. Common sense pointed out a different course. Let 1 those new schools be tried throughout all the country; and then, if they were satisfied that the new system was calculated I to produce a greater portion of good, then would be the time I to modify the existing system, and to restrict it within the bounds prescribed in the 14th report of the Commissioners. The motion and amendment having been read, Mr. P. LI; WIS proceeded to addr e s s t i me H ouse . I t h a d, he observed, been alleged us a matter of complaint against the Kildare-street Society, that they claimed the credit of having educated 100,000 persons, when, 'in fact, they hadeducated only 60,000. Th e trut h was, t h at those who made the return meant that the larger number of children appeared on the rolls of the different schools, butt were not in attendance. This, he admitted, was a very erroneous way of making a etticula thin ; but he was perfectly certain that nothing unfair or delu sive was contemplated. It was more titan probable, that three months before that calculation was made, there wes it much greater number of children in the different schools titan at a later period : fur it ought not to be left out of sight, that the return was taken in tile very height of the contest and struggle with the Roman Catholic priests, when many schools were suspended. thinly attended. th C aT e n d t i t t m 4 b i e l : taken%eri given e 4 n 9O u ireb schools i t) tbuther others t h t u h t e at 30,000, he believed those who made the representation were l' l ' l as ie s n a , idto however, exist, tl severed tetim o t tfbtehre them, children i liTr i e j e n v e educated was taken not correct.

SEVtNPENCIL ' ceemissionciathet the school establishments in Ireland illitauld be put down ; but there was one point connected with the eats. cation of the Irish on which it was impossible to inakste to niuch—namely, the necessity of destroying those seeds of . indict, and jealousy, diet shot up in the otinds of the fp A ' - se t anti uninstructed, to the manif e st inj ur y o f good fetli ' d social order. It w as o f t h e fi rst i mportence that those leads should be eradicated, in o r d e r to i n d uce cordiality arid good feeling between P ro t es t a n t an d C at h o li c . There want no one point which would be so strongly insisted on as this; arid the only way in which that consummation could be effectually ob. tained was by affording separate religious_ instruction to the children professing different perauasiona.—{ Bear, !tear I) ....It was a lamentable fact, that the poor Catholic children were brought up in a state of the darkest ignorance,_ that deceit you inculcated, into their minds by their religious instructors, and that they were brought up with a rooted aversion to their Pro testant brethren. Now was it to be expected that under the influence of those prejudices, the child of the Catholic peasant should willingly receive instruction in union with those against whom those prejudices had been excited ? An education which did not embrace religious instruction was of Ms avail, but it was proper that the particular forms of religion, to which persons of diiterent pentuamione wished to adhere should be re. sleeted. With this view it was absurd to place the Bible in the hands of an Irish peastost es a book of instruction. It did any thing but good. It. was mischievous, and tended to de feat the object which it was intended to promote. The Catho lic children were taught to believe that the Bible was a Pro testant book—that its tendency was any thing but good, and that it was altogether a b oo k which they should not read. It was the custom to point out to the children passages from Scripture which they could not comprehend, and which, not comprehending, they neither respected nor believed. This course of education was had, because it was forced upon thu children against their inclination and understanding. Religi. ous instruction should only be offered to those who were will ing to receive and ready to respect it. Yet, although the Kildare-street Society were so far defective in their system, it could not be denied but that their labours had produced much good to Ireland. One of the rules of the Society wait that the appointment of governors, as well as the admission of pupils, should iven without regard o favour. Ths rule, if duly acted on b , e w ould produce infinite good. It w a s i one of the rules of the Society for the Discouragement of Vice, that the clergy should be of the Protestant pentutution, notwithstanding that the contrary had been recommended by the Commissioners of Education ; but whether the rule were carried into effect or not, it must be ineffectual so long as the Catholic Clergy possessed power over their flocks. 'Dr. Murray had stated, that the Testament should not be read without proper explamt. don, in order to explain its meaning; but the Protestant teachers said " Read it, and make religion out of it." It was on those grounds that the Roman Catholics were averse to receive thei Bible without note or comment, and softie there was a difference of opinion between the Society and the Roman Catholics. This plan of forcing the Scriptures on the Catholic pupils, although a might partially succeed, would never be resented to by the Cn. tholics themselves, and eventually it must WI, because it was opposed to the feelings and prejudices of the people. Different classes should be selected in the schools, and each class should be instructed by its respective religious teacher...4llm, bear?) The Roman Catholic clergy, although opposed to the principle of placing the Bible in the hands of the ignorant without note or explanation, had no objection, nevertheless, to place it within reach of those who were competent to understand it. The Don Gentleman proceeded to observe, that if there could be any means devised by which there could be a proper anion of edu cation established, he should hail it as a measure of the greatest benefit to Ireland. The way to e&ct this, was to remove every cause of complaint, and to endeavour to soften the prejudices of the ignorant. While, on the one band, the Bible should not be pressed upon the Catholic children, care should also • be taken that no books should be used by them which should tend to bring other religions into discredit. If' a general plan of edu ca ti on could be adopted which would exclude every thing objectionable, and reconcile the pre ' judices of the two religions, 490,004 Catholic childreh might then be instructed, instead of the comparatively limited num- Ibee of 25,000, -which the Kildare-street Society had at pre. sent under their care. It was necessary to soften the prep. , dices of the Irish people. They were sore from the Iwo!. lection of past times, and there were people enough in Ireland who ware anxio us to k ee p a li ve that s oreness . The people In thus country were suspicious of their neighbours. -They herded together, and the animosities of' the father were inherited by the, son. Was it po ss ibl e , t h ere f ore, that any other feeling but that of distrust should he excited when Instruction was offered by those whom they were taught to look on with feelingsby no means in unison with that cordial understanding by Which all classes and all religions should be infienced ? Nor was it more probable that the books which were placed in the hands of the Catholic children abould be relished by them. The cottnie. quence was, that the Roman Catholic children cameprovided with their ow n b oo k s . Y et the books of instru ction i ssued by the Kildare-street Society were commended by many of the Catholic priesthood, and Dr. Alurrfty had said in his (Mr. Lewis's) hearing, that those books were well adapted to the purposes of instruction. The great object which Parlia , ment should have in view would be to establish a system at education in Ireland by which all classes would be instructed according to their respective creeds and opinions. The Hon. Dentleman then took occasion to conatrast the wretched yet crowded state of the Catholic schools In Ireland with the well. regulated but poorly attended Protestant seminaries in that country, with a view to chew how much a union of education, under proper regulations, was to be d es i re d. The 'louse, he proceeded to state, shou l d endeavour t o un i te nn e d ucat i on in Ireland in which religious instruction would be fairly and itii. partially established. By effecting this object an inestimable good would be secured to Ireland. The Honourable Gentle. , here tattled to a petition presented to the House from a Ro.: man Catholic Gentleman (whose nam e we did not learn) pray ing for a transfer of the sum appropriated to the Kildare-street Society for the purpose of educating a school of Catholic chit siren ; and he cautioned the House not to accede to its prayer. Let the system of education, he continued, be conducted by per sons who were not partistous of any sect or creed..._..( Hear l ) ._. Ile did not say it in disrespect to the Roman Catholics, but he should regret to see any fund placed exclusively in their hands for such a purpose. It would be one means of perpetuating those feelings of distrust and jealousy to which he had already alluded, and which even the heads of the Roman Catholic tee ligion were unable to controul. As to the probability °fain:cells with regard to a united system of education, he could not Ofilie an opinion further than that, from the systems already aieti, It was natural to infer that such a plan of education es he had pro. posed would be most desirable. The Hun. Gentlemen, lifter a few farther observations, gave his dissent to the amendment of the member fur Limerick. Alr. /11. FITZGERALD contended, that any seem s : ofredu. cation for Ireland must prove abortive if not puritted in ac.. cordance with the views of the Roman Catholic clergy., where their flocks were concerned. This was evident trot-Oho returns which had been read ; for where the Kildareotreet Aloe' ciety hail, with the aid of l arge grants, only educated soma 80,00 or 40,000 Catholics, the latter had themselves,. without any such grunts, educated 340,000 of their community. liti.: til they had, therefore, the free assent of the Catholic clergy,: it would be in vain for any public board to prosecute with any prospect of surcess the education of the great bulk of' the: sjwiraisthiltlitviptetemtaTlitt tuition itftlelecltaltrP, S cripturesilcane,sdtsh,etiy,erocihittetu):,tlt;biletotoeekrai.,i if tel ri y u linil to etii i hn n ot same school, toilette, indeed, they wished to diffuse polemical' ' contention among the people.
